Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing medical training with a focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle concerns ranging from familiar ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet commonly experience.
